Zorba's Cafe near the Dupont Circle, Thu, Jun 5, 2025, 5:30 PM

Join us at Zorba's Cafe every Thursday! We will gather on the second floor, or if the weather is pleasant, we’ll take advantage of the outdoor seating on the street. If you don't see anyone on the second floor, check the outdoor tables—there’s a good chance that’s where we are!

Дорогие участники! Для тех, кто еще не был на наших встречах, обратите внимание: обычно на встречу приходит больше людей, чем записывается. "Старожилы" привыкли приходить в любое время с 5:30 до 8 часов, поэтому не стесняйтесь, присоединяйтесь к нам!

We’re excited to return to our beloved venue! This location has been our gathering spot for years, so come meet us on the second floor.

Address: 1612 20th St NW, Washington, DC 20009

Conveniently located near the Dupont Circle Metro Station, this venue has hosted our Thursday evening meetups for many years prior to 2015.

Everyone is welcome, but please remember to converse in Russian only. For many attendees, this is a great opportunity to practice their language skills. Enjoy happy hour prices while you’re there!

Timing: Some of us usually arrive by 5:30 PM, but the organizers may arrive a bit later, around 5:45 PM. If you arrive early, please hang tight—we’ll be there soon! Most attendees stay until at least 8 PM, so arriving late is perfectly fine.

RSVPs: While I encourage you to RSVP, please keep in mind that many people don’t. It may look like only a few people are coming, but we often have a lively group! Newcomers are always welcome, so if it’s your first time, don’t worry—you won’t be alone!

On lovely days, we often opt for outdoor seating. If you don’t find anyone on the second floor, just look for the group speaking Russian at the tables outside.

Just a reminder: we may have only a few RSVPs, but we often end up with 15 or more attendees. So don’t let the numbers discourage you!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
